8. SMU
Jack McCallum
November 26, 1984
During a brief span at a recent SMU practice, 6'5" junior swingman Carl Wright played like a man possessed. Possessed by what was uncertain. He posted up and took an off-balance, turnaround jumper that missed, but then grabbed his own rebound. A few seconds later he shot another brick—only to make a clean steal before the opposition could advance the ball to mid-court. Seconds later he dribbled off a pick and nailed a 15-footer.
Koncak, who was married over the summer to his longtime sweetheart, Darlene Tabor, should have a good year. Ditto for Davis, who has shown a new fire in practice. The key would seem to be Wright. If he controls himself on and off the court, it could be an extremely Blissful year in Dallas.
